Hot Code: Veronica by S. How else could you explain finding the bodies of the fallen Bravo te The Beginning. How else could you explain finding the bodies of the fallen Bravo team in the games RE1 and RE2 without going back to the beginning?

The pieces of information go together masterfully in this book series. In the novel sense, Zero is the prequel to The Umbrella Conspiracy. Supposedly Zero is to answer all questions regarding the events of The Umbrella Conspiracy.

In the end, Zero leaves viewers with more questions than answers. Bravo Team is sent out into the mountain via helicopter to investigate murders that had been happening in Raccoon City - the fictional mountain city the game is based in. Something happened to Bravo Team's helicopter and they're forced to make a crash landing in the woods. The story follows Rebecca - the same Rebecca who helps Chris in the mansion during the events of Resident Evil or The Umbrella Conspiracy - and Billy a military man sent to death.

With Billy and Rebecca guiding the story, Zero is supposed to provide answers as to how a virus that causes people to turn into zombies - and thereby destroying Raccoon City - got leaked and who was behind it. Zero will answer this question, but will leave a lot more questions. Perry did real well to match up Billy and Rebecca. You really felt a sense of bonding, partnership, companionship, and even a hint of romance between the two main characters, Billy and Rebecca.

You also got a glimpse into the mind of Zero's main villain - the man with all the leeches and supposedly the one who wants to exact his revenge on Umbrella for their betrayal.

Like Perry's other books, multiple events flow wonderfully well together. Perry description of puzzles, scenery, characters, and gun battles all flow wonderfully well together and I never felt overwhelmed with tedious, mundane details. I felt the book gave a better description of the characters, motives, and scenery.

The promise is a prequel to the events of the mansion - The Umbrella Conspiracy. Instead, we get numerous plot holes and time paradoxes.

The best example is when Bravo's helicopter went down. In Umbrella Conspiracy, Alpha was in HQ when they heard the radio that Bravo went down and Wesker, the team lead, immediately responded to the distress call.

In Zero, Wesker was away from HQ, and when Bravo went down, he was far away, and it was suggested that Wesker waited until later to assemble Alpha to go investigate. There are many more examples of such time and place discrepancies. Even more so it seems motives are unclear as well. In The Umbrella Conspiracy, Wesker seemed unsure of himself and his involvement, but in Zero, Wesker seems evil and very aware of what he is trying to do.

I couldn't get away from the book nor could I from any of the RE books S. Perry wrote. The book is similar to the game but hey aren't most books similar to the movies made about them? I've seen people say just play the game and it's they same but for some the thrill is just from the story line and this allows people to get threw the whole story without having to beat a game to find out the ending. I think it did well to fit in the Resident Evil universe.

I would recommend this book to any fan of the novels or game. It is an excellent prequel and on top of that you get very good character development and some great action. If you are a true RE fanatic this must go on the shelf along with rest of the series!

Aug 05, Robert Beveridge rated it liked it Shelves: goal-list , cuy-co-pub-lib , finished. I'm not sure who to blame for this particular outrage. Unanswered forevermore.

We have a basic idea of who Trent is, but what is the rest of his backstory, which was being revealed in bits and bobs with each book? Are Chris, Clare, and Rebecca ever going to finish the job of bringing Umbrella down for good? I don't know. You don't. Stephani Perry might, but I haven't been able to dig up anywhere on the web where she's talked about it. None of which, of course, has the slightest bit to do with Zero Hour , Perry's seventh Resident Evil novel for Pocket, and the fifth straight game novelization in the series only Caliban Cove and Underworld were truly original titles.

If you remember the premise of the first book way back when, the STARS Beta team were sent into the woods after the Alpha team's copter crashed and they all mysteriously vanished. Not that there's really much mysterious about people who were on a crashed copter not radioing in, but still.

This is the story of the people who were on that copter, the original bunch of monsters, outlaws, and crazed Raccoon employees warning: reading this in chronological order will produce a show-stopping major spoiler for the first book in the series , and the surviving heroes.

As you can expect form the Resident Evil novels, there's a good deal of action, Perry thankfully plays down the repetitive-puzzle aspect of the games, and the characters manage to be slightly more than cardboard. It's typical of the series in all respects, so if you've been following along since book one, you won't find anything here surprising, which also means you won't be disappointed by it. I'm not willing to tack on any stars for a book being safe, but established fans of the series will get as much a kick out of this one as they usually do.

If the series didn't go out on a high note, at least it didn't fall off a cliff. So I bought this book for two reasons. One, I had collected the series back in the day when I was younger and obsessed with all things video game culture, but then I went to college and ended my series collections with the Nemesis adaption. The Let's Players themselves dubbed it best, this game has very little story.

The game itself fo So I bought this book for two reasons. The game itself focuses almost entirely on game play, via switching between the lead characters Billy and Rebecca to solve puzzles and battle their way through the plot. I had to know. So I bought the book and gave it a read. The answer is by focusing almost entirely on the parts of the game where story is involved and building character relations in ways the game did not. Took half the book to cover.

And that, I feel, was a smart decision. I approve wholeheartedly, it was one of the most interesting parts of the game, it should get the brunt of the writing. Perry is a good writer, the book didn't drag out, it maintained my interest and was a fairly interesting read.

I don't regret the time I spent on it. It would have been nice to have more character interaction to focus on, but that's a fault of the source material, not the author.

I wish she would have continued writing for some of the other games, specifically RE4, but I'm sure there were reasons that didn't happen. So I applaud her efforts and enjoyed this book.

Special Tactics and Rescue Service team to investigate the gruesome murders outside the town of Raccoo This could be considered a prequel book, as this was also a prequel video game in the Resident Evil video game series.

Special Tactics and Rescue Service team to investigate the gruesome murders outside the town of Raccoon City. While en route, via helicopter, it crash lands due to an electrical malfunction.

Upon venturing into the forest, they come across an abandoned train. Rebecca is one of the first of her crew to encounter zombies and other creatures involved with the Umbrella Corporation. Along the way, she meets an escaped military death row inmate called Billy Coen. They must join together to uncover the mystery of Umbrella, and stop Dr. James Marcus from his insane scheme of revenge against Umbrella. It's a really great story, but it's more story than the survival horror aspect we are used to in RE games.

This book basically sets up a back story for Umbrella, revealing the origins of their work with the T Virus. He works in the shadows with another character of importance later on named William Birkin. While Wesker seeks to leave Umbrella, to work for another corporation, Birkin stays with Umbrella to work on the G Virus.

Birkin and G Virus play a rather large role in the RE 2 game, and the third book in the series called City of the Dead. Overall, it's a great book. Confession time: I only played Resident Evil 0 once and I didn't like it. No item box, constantly switching between Rebecca and Billy, not to mention the wealth of inconsistencies it brought to Rebecca's character by making her badass in the prequel only to have her revert to a damsel in distress by the time Resident Evil or the REmake rolled around.

But, moving on. As my experience with 0 is limited and was sixteen years ago, so is my memory of how the story went down. Reading Zero Hour brought a bubbling of them to the surface, so I assume that Perry followed it pretty well. There was a lot less puzzle solving than in the first book, The Umbrella Conspiracy , though some of them still could have been omitted, like that silly ring puzzle on the train.

Mostly my issue was with the writing. Perry made some odd choices with sentence structure sometimes that I found myself mentally correcting it, asking "How would I write this so it doesn't sound so clunky? Either way, I don't think this was the worst book of the bunch that would go to either Caliban Cove or Underworld , I forget which was worse. It's a solid enough read if you don't want to play the game. Feb 02, Christina rated it it was amazing.

The first R. Has been my personal Favorite of the series! Lots of action and suspense! Another must read if you enjoy R. Also it's the first book to read if you want a insight to the story of how the S. A good book even if you have never played the game! Whatever I thought I knew about the story of the Resident Evil Universe, these zombies were way cooler and more intense than I thought. Jul 07, Leigha rated it really liked it.

It was good, but I think my copy had part of the ending cut off. Oh well, I got the gist, because this was after all the very beginning of the whole series I already read, though this is meant to be read last. Oct 07, Joshua Brown rated it liked it Shelves: first-term.

This book was really interesting it had good puzzles in it. But, it sometimes got confusion when it would switch to other characters sometimes i would have to read a sentence over to figure out who was the book following. I would recommend this book to people who like the genre horror. Aug 17, Jeremy Blum rated it liked it. Zero Hour's a prequel to S.

Perry's Resident Evil book series and an adaptation of Resident Evil Zero, telling the tale of what happened to Rebecca Chambers before the incident in the Spencer Mansion.

RE Zero is actually an underrated game in the franchise, IMO - it's got two very likeable leads plus a fantastic train opening sequence, and those bits are novelized well here.

Rebecca and Billy Cohen are good protagonists, just like how they were in the game, though Rebecca seems kind of distant Zero Hour's a prequel to S. Rebecca and Billy Cohen are good protagonists, just like how they were in the game, though Rebecca seems kind of distant here compared with how Perry wrote her in the past.

Scratch that, she's almost like a completely different character. The Rebecca in Perry's adaption of RE1 and Caliban Cove was an inexperienced noob who rambled a bit; here she's mostly serious and good with shotgunning a Tyrant prototype. Part of this is obviously because Perry wrote this one after the fact, so for that reason I do NOT recommend reading this first if you plan to tackle these books, even if it is marked as "zero.

It's also a baffling decision and great shame that she chose to adapt RE Zero instead of writing a third original novel that tied all of her threads about White Umbrella together. Perhaps a climatic showdown in Umbrella's Europe base Sure, it woulda been total fan fiction not in line with the games, but Perry already wrote fanfics with Caliban Cove and Underworld. Perhaps she was contractually obligated to write this, but I wish she'd done another fanfic instead and completed the tale she'd been laying out over time.

These might just be schlocky video game beach reads we're talking about here, but it stinks to read all seven of these novels and never witness an actual payoff. Mar 19, WordyJenn rated it it was ok. I think this a great book for Resident evil fans.
